u标为visiting⼊列，然后访问v，v标为visiting⼊列，然后访问v的后继结点，访问过的边标为visited，返回到visiting的点时，如果该点所有连接的边都标为visited只剩⼀条返回上级的边，则返回上级结点并将点标为visited，v出列，访问u的其他⼦结点，最终u出列。
全部结点出列后达到遍历所有边⼀次。

Introduction to Algorithms September 24, 2004Massachusetts Institute of Technology 6.046J/18.410J Professors Piotr Indyk and Charles E. Leiserson Handout 7Problem Set 1 SolutionsExercise 1-1. Do Exercise 2.3-7 on page 37 in CLRS.Solution:The following algorithm solves the problem:1.Sort the elements in S using mergesort.2.Remove the last element from S. Let y be the value of the removed element.3.If S is nonempty, look for z=x−y in S using binary search.4.If S contains such an element z, then STOP, since we have found y and z such that x=y+z.Otherwise, repeat Step 2.5.If S is empty, then no two elements in S sum to x.Notice that when we consider an element y i of S during i th iteration, we don’t need to look at the elements that have already been considered in previous iterations. Suppose there exists y j∗S, such that x=y i+y j. If j<i, i.e. if y j has been reached prior to y i, then we would have found y i when we were searching for x−y j during j th iteration and the algorithm would have terminated then.Step 1 takes �(n lg n)time. Step 2 takes O(1)time. Step 3 requires at most lg n time. Steps 2–4 are repeated at most n times. Thus, the total running time of this algorithm is �(n lg n). We can do a more precise analysis if we notice that Step 3 actually requires �(lg(n−i))time at i th iteration.However, if we evaluate �n−1lg(n−i), we get lg(n−1)!, which is �(n lg n). So the total runningi=1time is still �(n lg n).Exercise 1-2. Do Exercise 3.1-3 on page 50 in CLRS.Exercise 1-3. Do Exercise 3.2-6 on page 57 in CLRS.Exercise 1-4. Do Problem 3-2 on page 58 of CLRS.Problem 1-1. Properties of Asymptotic NotationProve or disprove each of the following properties related to asymptotic notation. In each of the following assume that f, g, and h are asymptotically nonnegative functions.� (a) f (n ) = O (g (n )) and g (n ) = O (f (n )) implies that f (n ) = �(g (n )).Solution:This Statement is True.Since f (n ) = O (g (n )), then there exists an n 0 and a c such that for all n √ n 0, f (n ) ←Similarly, since g (n )= O (f (n )), there exists an n � 0 and a c such that for allcg (n ). �f (n ). Therefore, for all n √ max(n 0,n Hence, f (n ) = �(g (n )).�()g n ,0← �),0c 1 � g (n ) ← f (n ) ← cg (n ).n √ n c � 0 (b) f (n ) + g (n ) = �(max(f (n ),g (n ))).Solution:This Statement is True.For all n √ 1, f (n ) ← max(f (n ),g (n )) and g (n ) ← max(f (n ),g (n )). Therefore:f (n ) +g (n ) ← max(f (n ),g (n )) + max(f (n ),g (n )) ← 2 max(f (n ),g (n ))and so f (n ) + g (n )= O (max(f (n ),g (n ))). Additionally, for each n , either f (n ) √max(f (n ),g (n )) or else g (n ) √ max(f (n ),g (n )). Therefore, for all n √ 1, f (n ) + g (n ) √ max(f (n ),g (n )) and so f (n ) + g (n ) = �(max(f (n ),g (n ))). Thus, f (n ) + g (n ) = �(max(f (n ),g (n ))).(c) Transitivity: f (n ) = O (g (n )) and g (n ) = O (h (n )) implies that f (n ) = O (h (n )).Solution:This Statement is True.Since f (n )= O (g (n )), then there exists an n 0 and a c such that for all n √ n 0, �)f ()n ,0← �()g n ,0← f (n ) ← cg (n ). Similarly, since g (n ) = O (h (n )), there exists an n �h (n ). Therefore, for all n √ max(n 0,n and a c � such thatfor all n √ n Hence, f (n ) = O (h (n )).cc�h (n ).c (d) f (n ) = O (g (n )) implies that h (f (n )) = O (h (g (n )).Solution:This Statement is False.We disprove this statement by giving a counter-example. Let f (n ) = n and g (n ) = 3n and h (n )=2n . Then h (f (n )) = 2n and h (g (n )) = 8n . Since 2n is not O (8n ), this choice of f , g and h is a counter-example which disproves the theorem.(e) f(n)+o(f(n))=�(f(n)).Solution:This Statement is True.Let h(n)=o(f(n)). We prove that f(n)+o(f(n))=�(f(n)). Since for all n√1, f(n)+h(n)√f(n), then f(n)+h(n)=�(f(n)).Since h(n)=o(f(n)), then there exists an n0such that for all n>n0, h(n)←f(n).Therefore, for all n>n0, f(n)+h(n)←2f(n)and so f(n)+h(n)=O(f(n)).Thus, f(n)+h(n)=�(f(n)).(f) f(n)=o(g(n))and g(n)=o(f(n))implies f(n)=�(g(n)).Solution:This Statement is False.We disprove this statement by giving a counter-example. Consider f(n)=1+cos(�≈n)and g(n)=1−cos(�≈n).For all even values of n, f(n)=2and g(n)=0, and there does not exist a c1for which f(n)←c1g(n). Thus, f(n)is not o(g(n)), because if there does not exist a c1 for which f(n)←c1g(n), then it cannot be the case that for any c1>0and sufficiently large n, f(n)<c1g(n).For all odd values of n, f(n)=0and g(n)=2, and there does not exist a c for which g(n)←cf(n). By the above reasoning, it follows that g(n)is not o(f(n)). Also, there cannot exist c2>0for which c2g(n)←f(n), because we could set c=1/c2if sucha c2existed.We have shown that there do not exist constants c1>0and c2>0such that c2g(n)←f(n)←c1g(n). Thus, f(n)is not �(g(n)).Problem 1-2. Computing Fibonacci NumbersThe Fibonacci numbers are defined on page 56 of CLRS asF0=0,F1=1,F n=F n−1+F n−2for n√2.In Exercise 1-3, of this problem set, you showed that the n th Fibonacci number isF n=�n−� n,�5where �is the golden ratio and �is its conjugate.A fellow 6.046 student comes to you with the following simple recursive algorithm for computing the n th Fibonacci number.F IB(n)1 if n=02 then return 03 elseif n=14 then return 15 return F IB(n−1)+F IB(n−2)This algorithm is correct, since it directly implements the definition of the Fibonacci numbers. Let’s analyze its running time. Let T(n)be the worst-case running time of F IB(n).1(a) Give a recurrence for T(n), and use the substitution method to show that T(n)=O(F n).Solution: The recurrence is: T(n)=T(n−1)+T(n−2)+1.We use the substitution method, inducting on n. Our Induction Hypothesis is: T(n)←cF n−b.To prove the inductive step:T(n)←cF n−1+cF n−2−b−b+1← cF n−2b+1Therefore, T(n)←cF n−b+1provided that b√1. We choose b=2and c=10.∗{For the base case consider n0,1}and note the running time is no more than10−2=8.(b) Similarly, show that T(n)=�(F n), and hence, that T(n)=�(F n).Solution: Again the recurrence is: T(n)=T(n−1)+T(n−2)+1.We use the substitution method, inducting on n. Our Induction Hypothesis is: T(n)√F n.To prove the inductive step:T(n)√F n−1+F n−2+1√F n+1Therefore, T(n)←F n. For the base case consider n∗{0,1}and note the runningtime is no less than 1.1In this problem, please assume that all operations take unit time. In reality, the time it takes to add two numbers depends on the number of bits in the numbers being added (more precisely, on the number of memory words). However, for the purpose of this problem, the approximation of unit time addition will suffice.Professor Grigori Potemkin has recently published an improved algorithm for computing the n th Fibonacci number which uses a cleverly constructed loop to get rid of one of the recursive calls. Professor Potemkin has staked his reputation on this new algorithm, and his tenure committee has asked you to review his algorithm.F IB�(n)1 if n=02 then return 03 elseif n=14 then return 15 6 7 8 sum �1for k�1to n−2do sum �sum +F IB�(k) return sumSince it is not at all clear that this algorithm actually computes the n th Fibonacci number, let’s prove that the algorithm is correct. We’ll prove this by induction over n, using a loop invariant in the inductive step of the proof.(c) State the induction hypothesis and the base case of your correctness proof.Solution: To prove the algorithm is correct, we are inducting on n. Our inductionhypothesis is that for all n<m, Fib�(n)returns F n, the n th Fibonacci number.Our base case is m=2. We observe that the first four lines of Potemkin guaranteethat Fib�(n)returns the correct value when n<2.(d) State a loop invariant for the loop in lines 6-7. Prove, using induction over k, that your“invariant” is indeed invariant.Solution: Our loop invariant is that after the k=i iteration of the loop,sum=F i+2.We prove this induction using induction over k. We assume that after the k=(i−1)iteration of the loop, sum=F i+1. Our base case is i=1. We observe that after thefirst pass through the loop, sum=2which is the 3rd Fibonacci number.To complete the induction step we observe that if sum=F i+1after the k=(i−1)andif the call to F ib�(i)on Line 7 correctly returns F i(by the induction hypothesis of ourcorrectness proof in the previous part of the problem) then after the k=i iteration ofthe loop sum=F i+2. This follows immediately form the fact that F i+F i+1=F i+2.(e) Use your loop invariant to complete the inductive step of your correctness proof.Solution: To complete the inductive step of our correctness proof, we must show thatif F ib�(n)returns F n for all n<m then F ib�(m)returns m. From the previous partwe know that if F ib�(n)returns F n for all n<m, then at the end of the k=i iterationof the loop sum=F i+2. We can thus conclude that after the k=m−2iteration ofthe loop, sum=F m which completes our correctness proof.(f) What is the asymptotic running time, T�(n), of F IB�(n)? Would you recommendtenure for Professor Potemkin?Solution: We will argue that T�(n)=�(F n)and thus that Potemkin’s algorithm,F ib�does not improve upon the assymptotic performance of the simple recurrsivealgorithm, F ib. Therefore we would not recommend tenure for Professor Potemkin.One way to see that T�(n)=�(F n)is to observe that the only constant in the programis the 1 (in lines 5 and 4). That is, in order for the program to return F n lines 5 and 4must be executed a total of F n times.Another way to see that T�(n)=�(F n)is to use the substitution method with thehypothesis T�(n)√F n and the recurrence T�(n)=cn+�n−2T�(k).k=1Problem 1-3. Polynomial multiplicationOne can represent a polynomial, in a symbolic variable x, with degree-bound n as an array P[0..n] of coefficients. Consider two linear polynomials, A(x)=a1x+a0and B(x)=b1x+b0, where a1, a0, b1, and b0are numerical coefficients, which can be represented by the arrays [a0,a1]and [b0,b1], respectively. We can multiply A and B using the four coefficient multiplicationsm1=a1·b1,m2=a1·b0,m3=a0·b1,m4=a0·b0,as well as one numerical addition, to form the polynomialC(x)=m1x2+(m2+m3)x+m4,which can be represented by the array[c0,c1,c2]=[m4,m3+m2,m1].(a) Give a divide-and-conquer algorithm for multiplying two polynomials of degree-bound n,represented as coefficient arrays, based on this formula.Solution:We can use this idea to recursively multiply polynomials of degree n−1, where n isa power of 2, as follows:Let p(x)and q(x)be polynomials of degree n−1, and divide each into the upper n/2 and lower n/2terms:p(x)=a(x)x n/2+b(x),q(x)=c(x)x n/2+d(x),where a(x), b(x), c(x), and d(x)are polynomials of degree n/2−1. The polynomial product is thenp(x)q(x)=(a(x)x n/2+b(x))(c(x)x n/2+d(x))=a(x)c(x)x n+(a(x)d(x)+b(x)c(x))x n/2+b(x)d(x).The four polynomial products a(x)c(x), a(x)d(x), b(x)c(x), and b(x)d(x)are computed recursively.(b) Give and solve a recurrence for the worst-case running time of your algorithm.Solution:Since we can perform the dividing and combining of polynomials in time �(n), recursive polynomial multiplication gives us a running time ofT(n)=4T(n/2)+�(n)=�(n2).(c) Show how to multiply two linear polynomials A(x)=a1x+a0and B(x)=b1x+b0using only three coefficient multiplications.Solution:We can use the following 3 multiplications:m1=(a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd,m2=ac,m3=bd,so the polynomial product is(ax+b)(cx+d)=m2x2+(m1−m2−m3)x+m3.� (d) Give a divide-and-conquer algorithm for multiplying two polynomials of degree-bound nbased on your formula from part (c).Solution:The algorithm is the same as in part (a), except for the fact that we need only compute three products of polynomials of degree n/2 to get the polynomial product.(e) Give and solve a recurrence for the worst-case running time of your algorithm.Solution:Similar to part (b):T (n )=3T (n/2) + �(n )lg 3)= �(n �(n 1.585)Alternative solution Instead of breaking a polynomial p (x ) into two smaller polynomials a (x ) and b (x ) such that p (x )= a (x ) + x n/2b (x ), as we did above, we could do the following:Collect all the even powers of p (x ) and substitute y = x 2 to create the polynomial a (y ). Then collect all the odd powers of p (x ), factor out x and substitute y = x 2 to create the second polynomial b (y ). Then we can see thatp (x ) = a (y ) + x b (y )· Both a (y ) and b (y ) are polynomials of (roughly) half the original size and degree, and we can proceed with our multiplications in a way analogous to what was done above.Notice that, at each level k , we need to compute y k = y 2 (where y 0 = x ), whichk −1 takes time �(1) per level and does not affect the asymptotic running time.。
